Chapter 2309


    No sooner had the contemptuous smile emerged on Henrick''s face than his high-handed persona


    was unleashed, and soon a cold air radiated from him.


    The atmosphere in the room became more and more oppressive.


    "Is that so? Well, you touched my woman, so I guess it''s safe to assume that you don''t want that


    hand of yours anymore." Henrick''s every word was filled with the smell of death. However, that


    man''s self-awareness was long buried under his arrogance.


    Mr. Por smiled and looked at Alice, who was already drunk. "Miss Klein, you''re spoiling the fun.


    We are all here to do business and rake in huge profits!"


    Henrick red daggers at him. "A fat load of good that meager money does me."


    As he spoke, he punched the arrogant man with all his strength in his right hand.


    A tter pierced the air. The man was beaten up unconsciously. Caught off guard, he was thrown


    onto the table, where the dishes and utensils on the table fell to the ground.


    "Ah..." Kylie was shocked and ran to Alice.


    "Brat, I gave you the easy way out and you took the hard way!" Mr. Por sprang to his feet and


    looked at Henrick dangerously, his eyes narrowed.


    Henrick pursed his lips into a thin smile and pointed at the man on the table, who was in so much


    pain that his features were twisted. His tone of voice brooked no warmth as he said, "Mr. Por, I''m


    afraid that you think too highly of yourself. Your so-called cooperation is but a ruse to prey on


    women and make money off this man. I''ve seen through a calctive man like you. I''ll have you


    know that your financial hanky-panky ends tonight."


    When Ms. Por heard this, his face was full of anger, and he was even more ashamed of being


    seen through.


    He narrowed his eyes, trying to guess Henrick''s identity and wondering how he could know this well


    about his underhand dealings.


    "Who are you?" he asked.


    Henrick sneered. "You don''t deserve to know. You only need to etch one thing into your mind: you''ll


    lose all your fortune if you set my girlfriend up."


    Alice, who was listening by the side, widened his eyes in disbelief. "What... what''s going on?"


    Had she also fallen into the trap in the name of cooperation?


    "Young man, don''t be too full of yourself." Mr. Por let out a lopsided smile, and his eyes were full


    of threats.


    Henrick didn''t reply but watched as the man, who had been punched by him, stumbled to his feet


    and started cursing words that ticked off all the boxes of his most disliked vulgarities.


    Henrick walked over and kicked the man over. Although his hand was injured, it was easy for him to


    teach this kind of man a lesson.


    The man groaned in pain.


    The other man wanted to help, but Josue suddenly came in.


    He looked at the man and smiled. "Don''t move. My fist is pretty steely."


    The man shrank his neck and did not dare to move.


    It wasn''t very convenient for Henrick to use his right hand, but he still raised the chair beside him


    and smashed it hard on the man''s arm.


    "Ah..." A miserable scream prated the floor.


    Everyone was so scared by this scream that even their organs were trembling.


    "Brat, if you dare to touch me again, I''ll call the police," Mr. Por threatened.


    Henrick had kicked the man, but his anger was still mounting. He said with a smile, "Thanks, but no


    thanks. My assistant has already called the police. The bodyguards are outside. None of you can


    leave."


    As soon as he finished speaking, four bodyguards strolled in.


    Mr. Por was stricken.


    Alice was speechless. "...Henrick, what do you mean?"


    She staggered over to Henrick''s side.


    Henrick held her hand and said with a gentle smile, "Allie, it''s okay. I''ll take you home first. Josue


    will handle the matter here."


    "Okay." Alice pouted and followed him unsteadily.


    It urred to her that Kylie was left alone. After taking a few steps, she looked back at Kylie


    worriedly and said, "Kylie, let''s go home."


    Josue smiled and said, "Miss Klein, I will give Miss Ratliff a ride home after dealing with the things


    here. You don''t have to worry."


    Kylie also smiled and nodded. "Mr. Klein, you go back first. I''m fine."


    Alice settled her gaze at Josue and said gratefully, "Josue, I owe you one. You must send Kylie


    back home safely."


    "I''m on it!" Josue nodded. "Rx, Miss Klein!"


    After leaving the restaurant, the night breeze blew gently. Alice felt that she was even tipsier. Her


    head was heavy and her steps were light. Every step she took gave her an impression as if she


    were floating.


    Henrick looked at her with distress. With her family''s financial condition, she didn''t need to bust her


    a*s working. However, this girl was very independent. She had never relied on her family to do what


    she wanted.


    "Allie, you okay?" He held her in his arms and went to the roadside to hail a taxi.


    The night wind rustled the trees on both sides of the sidewalk, bringing a touch of coolness to the


    hot summer.


    Alice suddenly stopped and squinted at the parasol tree in front of him.


    "Henrick, hurry up and go over there. Make that tree stop. It''s moving around and making it difficult


    for me to walk. It''s blocking my way."


    Henrick was speechless. He wasn''t a god, so he couldn''tmunicate with the tree.


    "Henrick, why are you standing there? It''s moving so hard that it almost hit me." Alice pouted her


    red lips, her ruddy face filled with dissatisfaction. The tree before her eyes was always swaying.


    Henrick smiled silently as he observed, "Allie, you arepletely wasted."


    She harrumphed and mumbled, "Hell no. Henrick, if you continue to bully me in the future, I won''t


    talk to you anymore." After that, she suddenly smiled sweetly.


    "Henrick, I''ll let you in on a little secret. But don''t tell Henrick."


    Henrick was speechless. She wanted to tell him his secret and not to tell him. He thought, "Allie,


    you are asking for the impossible."


    Henrick didn''t know whether tough or cry.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    "Henrick, let me tell you something. I like your kiss very much. I like the roses you gave me. I like


    the feeling of you hugging me..." Alice giggled.


    Under the warm yellow streetmp, the girl looked up with a beautiful and silly smile!


    Henrick gazed at her. Other than pain, he felt sorry for her.


    "Henrick, don''t tell that damned Henrick about it. He''s a bad guy. He bullied me seven years ago


    and refused to own up to it. It hurt so much when I gave birth to the baby, I wanted to just drop dead


    already."


    "At that time, I missed him very much, but he went abroad. He would never know that I''d given birth


    to children for him, a pair of twins, no less. My son was his spitting image. Every time I saw my son,


    I would think of him. What he was doing, and whether he would spare a thought for me..."


    Alice burst into tears, her rambling came tumbling.


    She was happy and sad at the same time, which made Henrick anxious. He felt distressed and


    med himself.


    It was no easy feat to stop a taxi, but Alice refused to get in and stumbled along the way.


    Henrick held her hand tightly, afraid that she would suddenly fall. In the end, he gave in to her and


    could only find a good hotel nearby, book a presidential suite, and request two female waiters to


    help her take a bath. At one o''clock in the morning, Alice fell asleep nketed with the night''s


    ordeal.
